Created by: tryger

Team: 2022-23 Los Angeles Kings

Initial Creation Date: Oct. 10, 2022

Published: Oct. 10, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

It looks like Clarke made the team, if he does start he takes RD 3 role from Walker.

Vilardi seems to have really won a role from an impressive camp, including a role on the PP2 unit.

Lemieux might be the odd man out, which means Grundstrom will need to be the physical presence on our team.

Buyouts

Dion Phaneuf: $1,062,500

Termination Fees

Mike Richards: $900,000

Buried

Austin Wagner: $8,333 ($1,133,333)

Kupari played regularly last year, was he not good enough to make the team this year or something else?

Just an asset management decision. Kupari is waiver-exempt. Kings didn't want to risk losing Jaret Anderson-Dolan for nothing.

This at least let's Kupari play big minutes every night for Ontario instead of riding pine in LA.

Same, really like that Gabe and Kaliev both practiced on the PP units.

Interesting that Fiala is playing 1LW, and Kempe 1RW.

Given that Fiala is so accomplished on both sides and Kempe has primarily played LW that they would flip them that way, instead of just using Kevin on the right side.

By the way, how're Kings fans liking FiFi so far?

He came as advertised just a natural goal scorer.

He has a lot more tools than I though he had, only negative I've seen is he can take some bad penalties.

Shouldn't be a surprise, I've been saying it constantly since Fiala was acquired.

Kempe had his breakout season playing RW. As you say Fiala can play both sides. They're not going to mess with Kempe's success, especially after he struggled so long to find a place where he could do well.
